Simple Stock Analysis in Python

This is a tutorial on Simple Stock Analysis in Jupyter and Python. There are two versions of the tutorial available: one in Jupyter and the other in Python. Jupyter also provides Jupyter Notebooks, previously known as iPython notebooks. On the other hand, Python is an interpreted high-level programming language known for its simplicity and ease of understanding, especially for beginners interested in learning about stock analysis and becoming quants. This tutorial is designed for individuals who wish to learn Python coding for stock market analysis. However, if you already have knowledge in stock analysis or coding in Python, this tutorial may not be suitable for you. You can explore more advanced coding options here: https://github.com/LastAncientOne/Stock_Analysis_For_Quant.

The order goes from #1 through #26.

You learn the number 1 first, and then you proceed in order. Once you have finished, you will know how to write code in Python and understand finance and the stock market. :congratulations:
